Sorry, to be clear my point is that

1. They have no reputations to put on the line

2. They didn't do anything risky

This isn't like we're talking about the AF Chief of Staff or some major leader in a field. So there's nothing to put on the line, they were nobodies before this and once it dies off they will be nobodies again.

Said differently, this whole debacle will make them MORE famous and employable than they were previously. So the overall impact on their life is that they get more fame and attention for effectively no risk. People seeking fame and attention don't generally care what kind.

1. Grusch gave up his career in the intelligence community to whistleblow on this. He had everything to lose.

2. Grusch has testified under oath to the ICIG, both intelligence committees, and now to the house oversight committee. If he’s locking, they could lock him away indefinitely.

Your entire argument is moot and you are looking for any excuse to discredit what’s being said. If you think he’s lying, ask your congressmen to investigate his claims and jail him if he’s lying.

Thank you. Grusch was 4 years away from a full retirement and like 2 from early retirement when he resigned and became a whistleblower.

Does anybody ever go to jail for lying to Congress?

[likeabbas]

He’s made accusations against specific people and corporations saying they’ve been involved in illegal activities and withholding information from congress. People do go to jail for false accusations of this order
